My mom told me that the barbeque smoke is very risk , it can cause cancer ? it that true . What are the scientific evidence of it .? idea?
The link Uncle Bob posted confirms what I thought to be true. It's not the smoke that is a possible danger, it's the charring on the meat.
If you grill over high heat and fat from the meat drips into the grill and flares up it will cause charring (burning) of the meat.
Smoke from wood or wood chips that is not accompanied by black charring of the meat is not the issue.
